We’ve made this more times than we can count, and if you’re anything like us after you try this white chocolate puffcorn, you’ll want to keep the ingredients on hand for any time you need a last-minute quick and simple snack option.
Ingredients
Here is what you’ll need to make this easy snack recipe.
2 bags of butter flavor puffcorn (3.25 oz per bag, 6.5 oz total) – we prefer Chester’s puffcorn (butter-flavored), but you can use any other brand.
1 package of almond bark (20 oz, any brand) – you may be able to find almond bark at a local grocery store, but it can sometimes be hard to find, especially if you’re searching during a non-holiday season. In our experience, it’s easier to find around Thanksgiving and Christmas. You should be able to order it from Amazon or other sites year-round. You could also use white chocolate chips.
Sprinkles – optional
Supplies
- Parchment paper or wax paper

How to Make White Chocolate Puffcorn
Follow these easy steps to make this delicious snack recipe.
Step 1 | Pour puffcorn into a large bowl
Pour both bags of puffcorn into a large mixing bowl. Prep a sheet of parchment paper or wax paper.
Step 2 | Melt almond bark
Then, in a medium-sized bowl, add the almond bark (broken down into individual pieces). Melt the almond bark in the microwave in small increments of 15-30 seconds (to avoid burning), and stir it often.
Step 3 | Pour melted almond bark on puffcorn
Pour the melted almond bark on top of the puffcorn and stir until coated evenly. If your bowl has a lid, you can also top your bowl with the lid and shake it to coat the puffcorn.
Step 4 | Add sprinkles – optional
Mix in sprinkles (optional, but a great way to customize for any occasion).
Step 5 | Spread out on parchment
Spread the coated puffcorn onto parchment or wax paper and add more sprinkles (optional).
Step 6 | Break apart & enjoy (or store for later)
Once the almond bark has hardened, carefully break it apart and add it to a storage container. Voila! Super easy white chocolate-coated puffcorn.

Add food coloring to the almond bark

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are questions related to making this sweet puffcorn treat.
What can I use if I can’t find almond bark?
We highly recommend almond bark based on flavor, but if you’re in a pinch, you can use white chocolate chips or candy melts instead. If you use white chocolate chips, be sure to use a little coconut or vegetable oil to thin it out.
What brand and flavor of puffcorn should I use?
We love Chester’s puffcorn for this recipe, but you can use any other brand. Use butter-flavored puffed corn for the best taste—we’ve tried plain puffcorn, and it doesn’t have the same delicious flavor.
Can I use regular popcorn in place of puff corn?
Yes. Although the taste will be different (and not as delectable, in our opinion), this recipe will work with regular popcorn as well.
How long does it last?
It should last up to a week or more if stored in an airtight container. Of course, the sooner you eat it after making it, the better the texture and taste.
